Jesus vs ignorance & oppression: I have food you don't know anything about. John 4:32
The doctrine of the Kingdom of God announced by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount is largely a continuation of sapiential literature rather than of the literature of the Pentateuch. And the sapiential literature does not teach about justice, prudence, or the other moral virtues of man, but rather speaks of men having two possible paths, righteousness and sin, and from there the two contrasting figures of the wise man and the fool. Ultimately, the sapiential spiritual teaching consists in the affirmation of the existence of two mentalities and two rewards, and Jesus, with some changes, returned to this teaching.
With this understanding, many of Jesus' metaphorical teachings can be understood, especially when Jesus at the beginning of the Gospel of John spoke of the true food and drink. The oppression and transformation of entire religions into systems of social control had caused science as such to be lost and ignorance to become the greatest evil that Jesus and the early Church had to face in its beginnings, that is why Jesus was very careful in his teachings.
The Gospel of John relates that in a place called Sychar in the region of Samaria, Jesus spoke to a Samaritan woman and told her about the true living water, and when his disciples arrived with food, Jesus spoke to his followers about true food for the soul with these wise words: "I have food you don't know anything about" John 4:32.
And for Jesus this water and this food had a spiritual meaning, with this Jesus was referring to the inspired wisdom of God, because only wisdom can truly nourish the soul of man; a wisdom that the disciples did not know when Jesus preached in the world, but which they finally received in the Christian Pentecost with the Holy Spirit as a grace. With these teachings, Jesus referred to a mysterious wisdom whose mission was to transform the world through the divine spirit, and prepare everything for his second coming at the end of time. Jesus made it clear that not only simple faith saves men but also the correct actions united to the eternal wisdom of God.
